Night Owls
Many couples will already know what they plan to do on a night (nudge, nudge, wink, wink!), but if you are after a little more night-time activity then it is important that you choose a destination that can cater for your needs. You need to be certain about what it is you want from a night out – if it’s jam-packed bars and pulsating nightclubs, then perhaps a trip to the middle of the Amazonian rainforest isn’t for you, likewise if it’s a few peaceful beach bars and a nice restaurant then San Antonio in Ibiza could well be worth avoiding. You really need to know what you want and then consult as many sources as possible for information about resorts you are considering – travel guides, travel agents, internet sites and friends and family who’ve been should all be quizzed.
One final point to consider with regards nightlife is cost . For example, a pint of beer in Prague costs a heck of a lot less than a similarly priced beverage in Oslo, so if you want to get tipsy on a regular basis, perhaps somewhere like the Czech Republic is a wiser choice than a destination such as Norway.
Whatever activities appeal, just make sure that you both agree on them. If in any disagreement or doubt, then why not do as more and more couples are doing, and book up a dual centre break – you may even want to spend the first part of the honeymoon doing one of the specialist activities we discussed right at the beginning of this article.
Your honeymoon is special, so spend some time discussing what you want from it and do your research. Whatever you decide, don’t do what some couples do and book something on the spur of the moment from a travel agents window just because ‘it was a good price’.
